How to find details of convictions?

[wallaby73]

Is there any way i can do a public above board search of when a person has had a court appearance / was convicted? And possibly if they were sentenced?

Any advice welcome

I'm no expert by any means, but have been doing some searching for something myself recently.

If you know when and where the court appearance was then this website might help you:
www.thelawpages.com

I don't know what court it was in; just roughly what year. Have tried the law pages....might take some time! I know he went to prison anyway.

Have you tried checking the local newspaper?

If its in there it will at least give you the date
